Aren't there problems though, if you're running different versions? For example, we are running 8.1.6 and 8.1.5 database instances. I had installed 8.1.6 RMAN, but it won't let me register the 8.1.5 version in the catalog. Does anybody know of a workaround - short of upgrading our 8.1.5 database?

Thanks -
Lisa

Hi, William,

I used to have may rman backups since 8.0.5, and I could say, 8.1.6
makes a BIG difference. It is much more stable and worth to go, especially if you have big/frequantly updated database. Even 8.1.5 is well behind 8.1.6. My preference is to have rman backup information in catalog rather than controlfile. Anytime you can export it and restore to any database, even on different platform. Works fine. My current configuration is 8.1.6 on Solaris + NetBackup.

Hi,

At one time, I had implemented RMAN in my 8.0 environment. It had some bugs, so I went back to my old way of doing backups. Now that I have upgraded to 8.1.6, I was thinking of re-implementing RMAN. But some of the discussion here implies that there are still problems. Can someone elaborate on all of this so we might make an informed decision?
